Inkjet & Digital Printing
IPI 2025 Unites Hundreds of Experts to Shape the Future of Industrial Printing
Wednesday 29. October 2025 - The Industrial Print Integration (IPI) Conference 2025, organised by ESMA, brings together the leading voices in functional and industrial printing for two days of innovation, collaboration, and inspiration. Taking place from 12-13 November 2025 at the Crowne Plaza Düsseldorf-Neuss,
IPI 2025 is set to feature 60 presentations, including 4 keynotes, across three dedicated tracks, alongside an international exhibition and a vibrant networking programme.
With 50% of visitors expected to be first-time attendees, IPI 2025 reflects the growing global momentum in industrial printing and the sector’s continued expansion into new applications and markets. The event serves as the key meeting point for technology users, researchers, and manufacturers exploring the next frontiers of digital manufacturing, from printhead design and advanced materials to electronics, energy, and biomedical innovation.
Kick off IPI 2025 with Exclusive Free Waveform Training
IPI 2025 begins a day early with a complimentary hands-on training session dedicated to waveform optimisation, open to all registered attendees. Led by Dr Mark Bale (DoDxAct), an independent expert with over 20 years of inkjet R&D experience, this interactive workshop explores the science and practice behind waveform development for inkjet printing.
Participants will learn the fundamentals of printhead geometries, how waveform tuning influences drop formation, velocity, and stability, and gain first-hand insight through live demonstrations at dropwatcher stations with industry specialists.
The Waveform Training is now almost fully booked — only the last few seats remain!
Programme Highlight: Printheads – Productivity and Durability
From Fujifilm Dimatix through to Konica Minolta, Ricoh, RISO and Seiko Instruments, the printhead track dives into the technologies that define uptime and performance in industrial inkjet. Expect insights into lifecycle costs, long-throw jetting, dual-colour architectures, and the latest reliability testing data from research institutes and OEMs.
Programme Highlight: High-Viscosity Jetting – Inkjet Breaks the Limits
Quantica, Fraunhofer IPA, and Scrona demonstrate how today’s print systems can handle materials up to 250 mPa·s, bridging the gap between inkjet and screen printing. This opens new opportunities in electronics, coatings, and automotive manufacturing.
Programme Highlight: Emerging Technologies – Beyond the Droplet
Cutting edge developments from Hummink, Profactor, Fraunhofer IAP, and IamFluidics show how inkjet is converging with nanotechnology, optics, and healthcare, redefining what “printing” means in next-generation manufacturing.
Programme Highlight: Printed Electronics & OEM Perspectives – From Lab to Line
This track highlights the practical journey of printed electronics into production, with contributions from SPGPrints, MicroCraft, and C-marx. Presentations will explore solder masks, battery printing, flexible PCBs, structural electronics, and a universal inkjet platform for various industrial applications.
